Wondering if I could ask a question if I may of the Sunova crowd - I had opportunity to have a look at a prototype 'Shroom yesterday at SurfFX and really like the look of it. I'm looking at coming down from a 10' Naish Mana (190L), and have not ridden either the 9'5" Speeed or a 'Shroom (believe the 'Shroom's are not in stock yet for a few weeks anyway). From all reports the Speeed is much more performance-oriented for faster waves and the 'Shroom is more for mushy slop? Obviously the 8'11" 'Shroom at 34"+ wide is massively wider than the 9'5" Speeed (31"?) and with the concave deck & bottom presumedly very very stable, but having watched Bert's video on the Speeed where he talks about the rails being under the water, thus creating 'hydro' tensioned stability (for lack of a better description), I'm curious as to the stability difference in the 2 boards when paddling slow or waiting for a set. Any thoughts on if it'll be a huge difference in that regard? Understood the Speeed will very much outperform the 'Shroom on a wave, but just trying to work out whether I'm likely to have low-speed balance issues on either coming down from the 10' Mana @ 190L to either of the Sunovas at 160L...sorry for the long post, and folks may not know much about the 'Shroom anyway yet, but I guess but thought I'd ask just in case someone does!
Have a good weekend all.
